ASSET MAPPING:
Towards effective planning and development at the grassroots level, the awareness of the assets available in the region (Medak) is a pressing need; hence, a Bhuvan Panchayat – Bhuvan Panchayat Mobile Application is developed and made available in the download section of the Portal. The assets can be spatially mapped by a registered Supervisor (ASO, Divisional DySO, DySO) and Surveyor (PS, VO President, SHG, Partner, Others). The asset mapping can be done through the android based mobile application which allows users to automatically grab the location of the asset through GPS and capture photographs in-situ. The user is given a provision to map the assets as point features. The mobile application also allows users to save the mapped asset data on the device itself. Later, with the availability of an internet connection, the saved assets can be uploaded to the Portal.
